  Description

  Caher/Cathair (stone fort). This univallate circular enclosure is clearly marked on the 1842 OS map, and lies immediately W of a disused burial ground (KE014-051002-). Only a tiny section at the W sector is marked on the later edition of 1916. Permission to inspect or survey this site was refused. The above description is derived from C.

• KE014-053 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 26.8m N-S, 24.4m E-W Situated SE of KE014-052---- and one field N of the 'The Bone Fortification' (KE014-054----), this site is marked on the 1842 OS map as a circular enclosure. On the 1916 edition it is not as well pronounced and a fieldbank runs along the W side. Today, this site appears as a sub-circular raised area which is cut slightly to the W-SW by a fieldbank. It rises to a maximum of 1m above the surrounding land. The interior would appear to be sloping gently S. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle.

• KE014-054 Fortification
  Description

  Marked on the 1842 and 1916 OS maps as 'The Bone Fortification (in ruins)', on the 1916 OS map 'Cave' is marked in the SE corner of this fortification. According to Smith (1756, 110), this 'is a square stone building'. When O'Donovan visited this site (OSL, 1841), he stated that 'It is built of stones and earth ... Some of its walls are eight feet high, and seven feet thick, ... there are so many port holes on them as would occupy too much time in enumerating them.' Today this can be described as a large fortification consisting of two rectangular enclosures, one circular enclosure and many connecting and independent banks. Although very much levelled, the foundations can still be determined; they would appear to be constructed of stone and in many places large boulders can be seen. The fortification appears to span the large field in which it is situated. In the W sector of the field there are the foundations of two rectangular enclosures, measuring 21m x 36m and 24m x 33m internally. The width of the bank at the base measures 6m. The external height of the bank measures from .6m-.9m while the internal height measures .6m-1.2m. The axis of these rectangular enclosures is N-S and they would appear to have a common bank in the centre. To the N of the top enclosure is a mound extending out from its N wall, measuring 7.5m x 21m. In the SE sector of the field, there is a roughly circular enclosure, measuring 34.5m x 34.5m internally. It has a low, wide bank, measuring 9m wide at the base and from .6m-.9m high both internally and externally. Extending out of the NNE and SE corners are stone banks. The former extends NNE and joins another bank at a distance of 15m. This bank runs in a NW-SE direction towards the fieldbank. The latter bank runs for 18m and also runs into a fieldbank. Extending out from the fieldbank that runs E-W is a low, wide bank. It extends for c 22m and then curves back towards the fieldbank for 12m before turning E; it then runs down a slope towards a small stream called 'the bone rivulet'. About 21m to the N are what could be the remains of a rectangular and circular enclosure; however, they have been cut in half by a field fence running in a N-S direction. On the W side of the fieldbank there is no surface evidence of the possible extension of the enclosures in question. It has been suggested that this fortification could have been constructed by one of the Cantillon or D'Cantillon family of Ballyheigue. Also, it has been suggested that the name 'bone' could come from 'bawn' and if this is the case it would have been a heavily fortified cattle enclosure (Smith, 1756, 110).
